Humanity induced climate change threatens the future of our planet, war has re-emerged as a permanent feature of society, a few billionaires have more wealth than entire countries, here in Ireland free market globalisation has meant an increasing gap between the rich and poor, racism, a reduction in quality of life for the majority with inadequate public services like health, housing and transport.

But is there an alternative? Can we do anything about this? Clearly we can. From France to Dublin to Bolivia ordinary people are fighting back. Socialism offers an alternative society through planning according to human need. But how can we get that society? What does history teach us? What would socialism be like?
